Planner
The Full-Focus
My paper agenda essential
I live and die by my Google calendar and I use a tool called Plann for our content calendar planning in my business, but I LOVE a good paper planner. I need something beside me during the day to use as a scratchpad to jot ideas on—get my messy thoughts out best on paper.
You've heard the research & stats: when you actually take the time to slow down and mindfully write something out, you tend to remember it more. That's why my Full-Focus planner goes with me any and everywhere—each quarter, I mark up my new planner (I alternate between the cognac leather color & off-white linen one!). Snag 10% off your single-planner or subscription with code "ASHLYN10"!
tame your to-do list
I'm obsessed:
Since 2016, I've plopped this planner beside my desk daily: it helps me mark grace-filled progress on my 5 personal & 5 business goals each quarter.

Happy birthday email marketing—40 looks good on you ;). And now? Email's more powerful than ever: your audience is 3x times MORE likely to convert hearing from you in email than your latest IG or FB post. I may write emails for a living, but I'll teach you everything I know so you can do the same for your business.
